A/N: I am so sorry for the lack of updates, my life has been so crazy busy lately. I usually don't update unless House is new. As usual I apologize for the OOC-ness of the characters.

Chapter Seven-Telling Me, Telling You

Cuddy is well into her second trimester at thirteen weeks of pregnancy. The morning sickness has dwindled which makes Cuddy very happy, although she is not happy about gaining the weight. Her relationship with House has improved drastically as well. House spends most nights at Cuddy's house only returning to his apartment to get new clothes or if he needs a night to himself. Cuddy remembers that just last week her and House were telling people about their "situation". They both agreed that Cuddy would tell the board and House would tell Wilson first of course, so he wouldn't be whining, and then the team. Cuddy recalls waiting in House's office while House tells Wilson about her pregnancy.

Cuddy strolls into Houses office to find him sleeping with the television on. Normally, she would've just turned around but she had to tell him that she was in her second trimester. House and Cuddy made a deal that they would start telling people about her pregnancy after her first trimester just in case something bad would happen. Cuddy walks over to House's chair and yells,

"HEY HOUSE!" House's eyes shoot open and he glares at Cuddy.

"Why Dr. Cuddy, what a pleasure it is to see you. What do you want?" Cuddy kisses House, and sits down on his good leg.

"Today marks the end of my first trimester." House nods, remembering their agreement. Cuddy can see the dread of telling everyone about their personal life clearly in House's face. If its anything Cuddy has learned in her relationship with House is wait until he is ready. "You know we could wait a week if you want. I'm only thirteen weeks, you can't really tell." House looked at Cuddy's stomach and realized she was right. Unless you knew, you couldn't tell at all that Cuddy was pregnant.

"No Cuddles, a deal is a deal. I'll go tell Wilson, you can come if you want to see him cry."

"As much fun as that sounds, I think I will wait here, I don't want Wilson's tears to get on me."

"What do you want House, I got a lot of work to do." Wilson asked.

"I have come to tell you that I knocked Cuddy up and now she is expecting my child." House said all in one breath. Wilson looked up at House petrified.

"I'm sorry I seem to have wax in my ears, did you just say that you got Cuddy pregnant and she is actually keeping it?" Wilson asked, obviously confused.

"Yeah you got that right," Wilson's bushy eyebrows shot up.

"How and when did this happen?"

"At the oncology benefit she made me go to. We left early and I did the nasty with the she devil. Now we have a little demon spawn on the way."

"Wait, you said we. Are you and Cuddy in a relationship now?"

"Uh huh, I have to deal with all that pregnancy crap. 'House rub my feet for me. House run to McDonalds, I want a cheeseburger'." Never in a million years would Wilson or House imagine that House will be a father, but nevertheless Wilson is ecstatic for House and Cuddy. "Well, Wilson I have to go places to go, people to tell." House walked out of Wilson's office and across the hall to his own office to talk to Cuddy.

"So how did it go?" Cuddy asked. House rolled his eyes,

"Wilson cried like a schoolgirl, it was pretty funny." Cuddy laughed.

"House, are you going to tell the team next?" House kissed her and nodded. "I have to go to a board meeting, but I'll see you later?" Cuddy walked out and left House to think about how he was going to tell his team and how they would react. Cameron, would be disappointed, Foreman, wouldn't give a damn, and Chase would be happy for him. House didn't get to think long as the team came in with proud faces.

"You were right, the patient has Addison's disease, we gave him cortisol and he is improving." Cameron said matter-of-factually.

"Oh, by the way I knocked Cuddy up." Foreman and Chase burst into laughter while Cameron stood there speechless. Foreman stopped after looking at Cameron's horrified face and House's "did I say something funny" look.

"There is no way she would have sex with you," Foreman said.

"Why not? I am a stud, besides we were drunk."

"Congratulations House! You are going to be a father." Cameron smiled, but House could tell she was disappointed.

"Congrats House!" Chase exclaimed, and went to hug him.

"Yeah, good luck with that House." Foreman said and the three of them walked out of House's office chatting amongst themselves. Meanwhile, Cuddy's board meeting was almost done, when Cuddy stood up to make an announcement.

"I just wanted to let the board know, that I am pregnant and due in October." The board members' jaws simultaneously dropped except for Wilson's who uttered congratulations. The rest of the board members followed suit except for Dr. Backer of dermatology who never liked Cuddy, and raised the problem that the Dean of Medicine is pregnant and unmarried. Cuddy, calmly replied,

"Are you upset that I am a woman and can't be a mother and a Dean? Or are you concerned that I am pregnant and not married?" Dr. Backer, retorted with,

"I'm concerned with both, is it true that you are sleeping with Dr. House?" Cuddy was thrown off balance at his question, but said,

"I really don't think that is anyone's business but yes, Dr. House and I have been in a complicated on and off relationship for about twenty years. I am aware of the non-fraternization policy, but my relationship with House and pregnancy has not affected my performance as Dean of Medicine. Cuddy looked to each board member before collecting her materials and proudly walking out of the conference room.
